Los Angeles LGBT Discrimination Lawyer

Facing discrimination because of sexual orientation or gender identity is not only unfair but also exhausting. People encounter it in the workplace, in schools, in housing, and even in public spaces. In many cases, it is not immediately clear what steps to take or where to turn for support. The uncertainty itself can add to the stress.

At Levin & Nalbandyan Trial Lawyers, our Los Angeles LGBT discrimination lawyer could help guide you through these situations. A workplace discrimination attorney can explain which laws apply, outline deadlines that matter, and provide direction on how to protect your rights. Having representation does not guarantee a specific outcome, but it often makes the process less overwhelming. With legal knowledge and experience, our team could help you take meaningful steps toward a resolution.

Laws and Claims Related to LGBT Discrimination

California law provides broad protection for LGBTQ+ individuals. The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits discrimination in jobs and housing. The Unruh Civil Rights Act protects against unequal treatment in businesses and public places. The Ralph Act allows civil claims for harassment or violence motivated by bias, and the Bane Act applies if someone interferes with your rights through threats, coercion, or intimidation. On top of these protections, Los Angeles enforces a local ordinance that mirrors and expands state law to strengthen protections within the city.

Discrimination can take many forms. Some people reach out to our attorneys after being denied promotions or pushed out of jobs. Repeated misgendering or invasive demands for “proof” of gender identity can also create a hostile environment that interferes with daily life.

Many of these claims must go through the California Civil Rights Department before moving forward in court. Filing deadlines are strict: three years for most employment cases and as little as six months for claims against government entities. If those deadlines are missed, the case may end before it even begins. That is why early action is so important.

Our LGBTQ discrimination lawyer in Los Angeles could help organize the timeline, gather evidence such as emails or text records, and ensure that all filings are completed on time. Resolutions vary. They might include recovering lost wages, attorney’s fees, or damages for emotional harm. Some outcomes also include policy changes or civil penalties. In cases that involve harassment or violence, there may be both civil remedies and criminal charges at stake. Having counsel means you do not have to manage these complicated steps on your own.

What a Private Firm Brings

Working with a private law firm can give you access to resources and guidance that often make a significant difference. Our LGBT discrimination attorney in Los Angeles could do more than simply file papers on your behalf. Legal support may involve pinpointing the exact protections that fit your circumstances, preserving evidence that is easily overlooked, and keeping your claim moving within strict timelines.

In practice, this support often includes tasks such as:

Reviewing and preserving text messages, emails, or other communications
Filing complaints with the Civil Rights Department and requesting right-to-sue notices
Negotiating with employers, insurers, or opposing attorneys
Preparing clients for depositions, hearings, or trial appearances

These efforts are not limited to paperwork. They help place you in the strongest possible position to pursue your claim while reducing the stress of managing deadlines and procedures. Knowing that our attorney is guiding each step can provide a sense of security and balance during an otherwise difficult process.

More on Employment Law

Why Should I Hire an Employment Lawyer?

Employment issues can often be difficult to come across, especially if there are serious obstacles to overcome such as harassment or discrimination. Fortunately, there are laws that are there to help protect employees in the workplace. It is important that you hire an attorney to help you better understand your rights and your remedies if you have been the victim of a workplace dispute.

Know the Law & What is Illegal

Some individuals fail to take action against employers simply because they don’t know they’re a victim of a volatile workplace or that they have legal options. By speaking with a lawyer and discussing your situation, you can better understand what actions are illegal, what you can do to seek justice, and who is responsible. Then you can understand what you may be entitled to and what else can be done to help get you the compensation you deserve.

Protection From the Defense

Keep in mind, your employer or whoever is responsible for the workplace harassment or discrimination will most likely have a strong legal team looking out for their best interests. This means you also need strong legal counsel. A lawyer will be there to present the necessary evidence and help you navigate the legal system without concern. An attorney can help you fill out the proper paperwork, meet deadlines, and work towards a favorable resolution. Our Los Angeles employee rights attorneys at Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP are committed to the rights of employees who have been the victim of workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, and more.

Featured Areas of Practice

Our Los Angeles employment law attorneys have over a decade of experience helping protect employee rights in California. We believe that companies must be held accountable for violating state or federal laws designed to protect employees from wrongdoing. At Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP, we handle the following kinds of employment law claims:

Class Actions
Harassment
Wage & Hour Disputes
Discrimination
Sexual Harassment
Wrongful Termination

If you believe that you were mistreated or abused at work, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to discuss your case with a Los Angeles employment law attorney as early as possible in order to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.

Why Hire a Los Angeles Employment Law Attorney

A Los Angeles employment law attorney can help you get compensation if you were mistreated, harassed, or discriminated against at work. Without the help of an attorney, you may not get the recovery you deserve, despite the fact that your company violated state or federal law. Employment law is complicated and follows strict legal procedures. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in your claim being denied or dismissed. An attorney can help ensure that you meet all statutory requirements and file the appropriate legal documents. It is important to note that you only have a limited amount of time to file, so the earlier you consult an attorney, the more likely your case will be heard.

When to Hire an Attorney

It is never too early to consult with an attorney, but it can be too late. The earlier in the process you retain legal representation, the better. Filing a claim beyond the statute of limitations may result in your case being dismissed or may bar your right to recovery.

How We Can Help

When employees are discriminated against, harassed, or mistreated, they deserve an advocate. They deserve someone who will fight to protect their rights and hold wrongdoers accountable. At Levin & Nalbandyan, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys aggressively defend the rights of workers, never resting until justice is served.

When there has been a violation of state or federal law, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys do not give up. We have obtained multiple seven-figure settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients, including a $10 million jury verdict for a victim of workplace sexual harassment.
